Root canal is the treatment for the pulp of a tooth which results in the elimination of infection, cleaning, shaping and  subsequently obturation/filling of the root canals (physical hollows within a tooth that are naturally inhabited by blood vessels,nerves etc). This procedure results in the elimination of infection and protection of the tooth from future microbial infection.
